Chapter 40: Chapter 40_1

Early the next morning, Nanzhi and Gougou had breakfast and then headed out directly with a small bamboo basket and a fish basket.

Seeing quite a few people already by the river at the end of the village, Nanzhi thought a while before leading Gougou upstream for about fifteen minutes.

Once they arrived, they saw a few scattered people standing in the river. Nanzhi took off Gougou's shoes and socks and let him play in the water. Seeing that the water level was just above his ankles, she felt at ease and headed toward the middle of the river.

"Nanzhi, are you here to catch fish too? The water here is deeper than at the end of the village, be careful."

Hearing someone call her name, Nanzhi was slightly surprised. She looked up in the direction of the voice and vaguely recognized the woman. She thought about it for a while and recognized her as Ms. Sun, who had come to learn how to make fish soup a few days ago.

She just smiled and replied, "Eh."
